A tricky 'Hands And Heels' apprentice maiden handicap closes the card and from a shortlist of Ghufa, White Moss and Trireme, we will put forward Ghufa as the pick. The selection ran well on his handicap debut when he finished third behind Kimono My House at Yarmouth last time. There should be more to come from him and with a decent apprentice on board he can take the beating. White Moss was quite well backed at Redcar last time and she was far from disgraced in second behind Follow The Sun. She is fairly exposed but she should run her race. Trireme hails from the yard that won this race last year but he was well beaten on soft ground at Yarmouth last time and he is hard to recommend with confidence. Bollin Freddie could prove best of the others with the capable Jamie Kyne on board. However, for the winner we will stick with Ghufa.
